With the CocoaPods Xcode plugin you can install pods within the projects podfile, related documentation, edit podfiles, and install CocoaPods updates all from within Xcode using a convenient menu.
This plugin has been tested to work within Xcode 5 – some plugins do have issues, this is not one of them.
